The office then moved to the Dr. PH Lamb Cottage in Moorhead Minnesota in 1904. In 1920, the office moved to the U.S. Post office building in Moorhead, Minnesota. The office then relocated to Hector Airport in Fargo North Dakota in 1934 and renamed to the National Weather Service in 1970. In November 1994, the new modernized office building was completed on the west side of Grand Forks and began operations in the new facility and as part of the agency’s nationwide modernization effort.
